What can I say??? Ryan is the #1 most important person in my life!! He is the most lovable, caring, generous, handsome, huggable, kissable, musical, intelligent kid around!!! Is that too prejudiced??? Oh well, I can't help the way I feel!!! He is 9...excuse me...9 3/4!! He hates it when I just say nine and goes out of his way to correct me on that count!!! He is a very active, loving child. As I am sure you can tell by the background he really likes sharks and anything that swims....he is a little fish. He loves to swim and right now that is a very good thing because he is going to have to as part of his therapy so it is a good thing he loves water. He loves to pick on me though because I cannot swim that good and he thinks that is extremely funny!!*LOL* He is quickly adjusting to our new life in Pennsylvania and is quickly making lots of new friends. I have a feeling that once school starts my house is going to be full of him and his friends. I think I may be in trouble...I can see it now...a houseful of pre-pubescent little boys...what have I done???*LOL* Seriously tho...I love him more than life itself and hope that I will be the kind of mom when he is growing up who he is proud to bring his friends home to meet...I guess I just have to be careful that none of his friends see me giving him an occassional hugs and kiss...I am not allowed to do that in public much anymore....Ahhhh the good ol' days are gone I do believe.*sigh*

He loves music,ever since he was a baby,my sister Debi (youngest of the 4) used to put her headphones on his ears when he was an infant and to this day he is almost always somewhere near a walkman, stereo or radio...he loves to sing....I love my earplugs!!! He has known all of the words to Bohemian Rhapsody since he was 4 years old...we even have him on tape singing and acting out the lyrics to that song. He loves QUEEN,Garth Brooks and can't get enough of the FOOTLOOSE soundtrack...I wish it would disappear sometimes though!!! He loves Goosebumps, Alex Mack and anything on NICKELODEON!!! His favorite channel though is the DISCOVERY channel, which I don't mind him watching because I have learned a lot from him since he has been watching it. He soaks up everything and remembers it all so well!!
